OK,

I apologise in advance if this is a stupid question.

Currently I have 215/65/R15 95S tyres on my Z28, on the stock 15x7 (I think) alloys.

I want to get some tyres with raised white lettering, however it's not looking good getting them in that tyre size.

The sizes that the RWL tyres that I want are readily available in are 245/60/R15 100T and 215/60/R15 93T.

The question is, will either of the above sizes fit my alloys?

I realise this could affect the speedo readings, but the speedo underreads by about 5mph anyway.

TIA
 
I cant see you getting away with 245s on those wheels somehow. 215/60/15 would be the better choice!
 
I have been meaning to get some decent pics for ages. The only pic I have of the car at the moment:

Alright, looks like it's the 215s then....or would it be completely stupid to put 245 on the rears and 215 on the fronts? It's too easy to spin the rear wheels right now, would excessively wide rear tyres help that or make it even worse? (once again apologies for n00bness)

The tyres that are on there just now must have honestly been on there since about 1992.

Apologies for bumpage and my continuing n00bness,

I just realised I have some nearly new Nankang 225/60/15s lying around (I know they're "the best of the **** tyres" but they're free and they're better than 20 year old american tyres for sure) that I could put on in the meantime, will this size fit based on the info in my first post?

TIA
